The best answer for this question would be:

That Emerson in the essay “Self-Reliance” truly believed in individualism. He wanted his readers to know that trusting in oneself can go a long way, than blindly following someone’s idea that you don’t actually appreciate. It is important to be misunderstood along the way, because it creates countless of opportunities.

the need to always be consistent.
He believe that A greater mind will always follow their intuition rather than listening to the opinion of the lesser intellectuals. He is saying to not be worried about being consistent with a previous idea because in the pursuit of knowledge,mistakes will keep occurring.

The speaker exclaims that she is “Nobody,” and asks, “Who are you? / Are you— Nobody—too?” If so, she says, then they are a pair

Shtirlitz [24]

The quote in the question above is the BASIC PLOT of "I'm Nobody! Who are you?", a short lyric poem by Emily Dickinson.

Further analyzing the poem, we can observe that the narrator's POV is first person, and the message that the poem passes across is that being a nobody isn't as bad as people think it is. Also, the poem seeks to establish that public people lose privacy so being public may not be as great as people think it is. Overall, the style used is iambic tetrameter and trimeter.

Do a compare and trast of a normal day going to class at school and going to class online Please focus your MOOD, be very clear

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

When I go to class at school, I am most often not excited to be at school, but more or less excited to see my friends. Being strictly in online classes, has mad me very anxious to arrive back at school and get back to my normal social life. I miss being able to talk to my friends and get help on my homework questions. When I do my online courses, I sit alone and the work is extremely tedious. I feel like I am only getting busy worked, which makes the school day feel ten times longer. I do, however, enjoy being able to stop and take breaks whenever I want. It makes me feel more relaxed knowing I am doing my homework at my own pace and am not being rushed. Most often at school, I am anxious over the amount of time I have left for an assigment, while at home I am calm and relaxed because I am on my own schedule. Overall, online classes make me feel at ease, but I feel dismal not being able to see my friends everyday.

Explanation:

- Hope this helps! Although, this is on how you compare online learing versus in-school learning. I would suggest modifying it to fit what you feel.

Frankenstein Chapter 2, Excerpt 2

By Mary Shelley

Victor Frankenstein continues recounting the influences that lead to his great experiment:

An accident again changed the current of my ideas. When I was about fifteen years old we had retired to our house near Belrive, when we witnessed a most violent and terrible thunderstorm. It advanced from behind the mountains of Jura, and the thunder burst at once with frightful loudness from various quarters of the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted, watching its progress with curiosity and delight. As I stood at the door, on a sudden I beheld a stream of fire issue from an old and beautiful oak which stood about twenty yards from our house; and so soon as the dazzling light vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump. When we visited it the next morning, we found the tree shattered in a singular manner. It was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of wood. I never beheld anything so utterly destroyed.

Why does the author use only Victor's information in this passage? (5 points)

A. Victor is the one who wrote the novel.

B. Readers enjoy multiple perspectives.

C. It allows Victor to tell the story.

D. It prevents readers from knowing the ending.

Answer:

The reason why the author uses Victor's information in this passage is:

C. It allows Victor to tell the story.

Explanation:

We can safely choose letter C through elimination. Letter A affirms that Victor wrote the novel. We need to be careful here. Victor is one of the narrators, but he is not the author, he is not the person who wrote the novel. That is Mary Shelley.

Letter B claims that readers enjoy multiple perspectives. There is no way for us to know that. It may or may not be true, but there is nothing to reveal Shelley thought of that when deciding on multiple narrators.

Letter D claims it prevents readers from knowing the ending. That is not necessarily true. If Shelley wishes to have the narrator tell readers the ending right from the start, she can do that. There is no rule to prevent such a thing from happening.

Therefore, we can conclude that using only Victor's information means the author wanted to tell this part of the story from his perspective, wanted to allow him to tell the story. Letter C is the best option.
